Petition, lawmakers call for 'purple alert system' after missing teen with Down syndrome found safe
PITTSBURGH —
An online petition is calling for state lawmakers to implement a “purple alert” system after a 17-year-old girl with Down syndrome went missing in downtown Pittsburgh over the weekend.
Kayla Durler was found safely on Saturday by community volunteers, but those who were a part of the search say a “purple alert” system specifically designed to help find children and adults with intellectual disabilities would have made a difference.
